BWH is a sustaining member of the NPA, which gives our postdocs free affiliate NPA membership. The NPA Diversity Committee is dedicated to increasing diversity at the postdoctoral level. The goals of this committee include:
- To encourage, foster, and increase diversity in the postdoctoral ranks across universities and research institutions nationwide;
- To increase awareness of the importance of diversity within the academic and research communities;
- To organize symposia and events at national conferences to address these goals; and
- To target colleges, universities and research institutions to both learn about issues relevant to potentially underrepresented postdoc groups, and to encourage networking, mentoring, and promotion of postdoctoral work among these groups.
